Chapter 244: It's as fast as the wind

This war may seem short, but in fact it has been going on for three full hours. In these three hours, countless soldiers fell in pools of blood, and the fire-marauding cavalry finally broke out of the encirclement at the cost of losing 3,000 men.

And Li Dong's rebel army lost 5,000 men!

With just two troops causing such heavy casualties, it cast a cloud over everyone's hearts. But at this time, Li Dong still relied on the advantage of 17,000 people, which was enough to crush the 7,000 people who merged with Xu Lin and Plunder.

Moreover, although Xu Lin's infantry army attacked and defended in an orderly manner, its combat power was naturally slightly inferior to that of fire. However, Li Dong was suddenly uneasy, because until now, his hole cards have been exhausted, and Xu Lin has only appeared two teams, so where are the remaining three?

Or where did it go?

It would be forgivable to say that Dunshan stayed behind to protect the Broken Intestine Valley, but the two teams of Storm and Yin Thunder did not hear from each other, which was really a bit strange.

However, things in the world are almost strange, just when Li Dong was uneasy, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, and five thousand light horsemen came out from both sides, like two sharp knives straight into Li Dong's heart, and it was the wind!

Five thousand horsemen galloped and shouted, sharpening their knives, riding their horses in the wind and bending their bows, and shooting an arrow, directly grazing Li Dong's neck, the meaning of which was self-evident. At such a distance, the wind can be described as an archer who can shoot with one arrow, Li Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that he would face a dead end.

Today's Li Dong no longer has the cooperation of shield armor soldiers and pikemen to defend the war horses, so these five thousand horsemen are like the soul rope of the god of death, and the ending has been decided!

"Retreat!"

This is the order of both sides, the fire and Xu Lin's retreat are naturally to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly troops, while the retreat of the rebel army is to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with the iron cavalry, so as to reduce the mortality rate, after all, with flesh and blood, it is impossible to stop the footsteps of the iron cavalry.

But seeing that the five thousand iron horses stepped on the dust, like an instant thunder and wind, Feng Yuxiu once again used the barbarian god to anger the gods and fear, and suddenly the earth shook, and a one-zhang wide moat cracked from the earth.

These methods made the greed in the eyes of the fire snatcher a little stronger, but at this moment, he could only retreat unwillingly.

The rebel army changed its formation again, changing to a long snake formation and quickly withdrawing back to the back mountain, but the swift wind rider had already killed, all the way like chopping melons and vegetables without the slightest resistance, and nearly a thousand people died on their blades in an instant.

Xu Lin looked at the battlefield in the distance expressionlessly, his heart did not have the slightest wave, just like his calm face. A shadow slowly appeared behind him, and soon transformed into a black-robed man.

This person exuded a rich black aura all over his body, and his whole body was also shrouded in this black robe, and his exposed face was full of strange totems, only his eyes were bright, but they were unusually cold.

"Their camp has been explored, and my Shadow Force has been lurked. Just wait for the general to give an order, and you can take it down!"

The black-robed man was Yin Ting, and he couldn't help but look for the location of Li Dong's grain and grass. Xu Lin didn't look back, but said indifferently: "Then kill them!"

"Yes!"

Yin Ting slowly retreated, turning into a shadow and disappearing between heaven and earth, Xu Lin's demeanor gradually relaxed, as long as Li Dong's grain and grass were destroyed, then there would be no suspense in this battle.

Especially the wind war horse that is now in full swing has added a sense of confidence to him.

"Li Dong, you have disappointed me a little!" Xu Lin felt a little sorry, what he regretted was not Li Dong but himself, because he overestimated Li Dong too much, in other words, underestimated himself.

I didn't expect that a small serial plan could easily defeat Li Dong!

Although Feng Yuxiu opened up a one-zhang wide moat, this was just a pediatric for those wind war horses, and they easily crossed the obstacle when they jumped high, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with all their might.

Looking at the cavalry like a tide, the corners of Li Dong's mouth also showed a strange arc, with his old face, he looked particularly gloomy at this moment, even Zhou Chun had never seen Li Dong's expression.

"Wu Yong, order your troops to release the enemy to a hundred paces, and then shoot them!"

Li Dong wanted to laugh insolently, but he could only howl in his heart, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, there was only the word happy, because he knew that there was no suspense in this battle.

There is a cloud in the art of war: "Condescending, like a bamboo!"

This sentence worked even against the monks! Xu Lin committed a great taboo, he relaxed his vigilance after seeing the overall strength of the rebel army, and this would pay a bloody price.

Wu Yong had already led his crossbowmen to retreat to the commanding heights, and after receiving Li Dong's order, they stood up in unison, and there were still plenty of arrows in their quivers!

"It's not good, it's a fraud!"

They even forgot their own strengths and weaknesses! Now in the face of this rain of arrows, they were powerless to parry, powerless to resist, and could only retreat.

At this moment, countless fireballs appeared from both sides of them, and these fireballs rolled down with a scorching killing, like the anger in their hearts.

The vanguard troops were unexpected, and hurriedly retreated, but the formation was broken by this fire, and with the simultaneous launch of ten thousand arrows, there was a painful wail all over the field for a while.

Xu Lin naturally saw this scene too, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he would never have thought that Li Dong actually hid half of the arrows on the mountainside. He understood, he understood that all this was actually just a trap, Li Dong's goal was always to ride the wind war, and they set up a series of schemes.

That's their scheme!

The Heavenly Trench opened up by Feng Yuxiu played an unimaginable role at this moment, and he had already taken the opportunity to inject a large amount of fuel to multiply its power. And now the weakened Wind Light Rider is constantly compressed due to the continuous compression of space, and they can't give full play to the advantages of the war horse when they are crowded together, and even the three-zhang wide moat is difficult to cross.

So these soldiers had no choice but to abandon their horses and instead wrap themselves in spiritual power and glide through the wind.

Li Dong's ruthlessness made Xu Lin staggered, he did not hesitate to give up the lives of 2,000 people to seduce the wind and be fooled, just in exchange for more rewards!

"It seems that I underestimated you, Li Dong!"

Xu Lin began to take the battle seriously, and he quickly sent his troops to meet the Tempest Clan, and the Tempest Cavalry suffered heavy losses in this battle, losing four thousand soldiers and almost all of their cavalry.

Although in the end, Li Dong also paid for the lives of 4,000 soldiers!

Throughout the battle, the lives of 8,000 rebels have been delivered here, and even the demons have to look sideways at this meat grinder-like battlefield, because they have also suffered the biggest price in history, and they have also sacrificed 8,000 soldiers.

At that time, everyone had a tacit understanding that they chose Mingjin to withdraw their troops, after all, they were all flesh and blood people, but their positions were different. Feng Yuxiu's smile is long gone, his face is a little bitter, after all, he is the one who took the lead, so his subordinates have sacrificed ninety percent, although they don't have a deep friendship, but the brothers who were talking and laughing one second ago will be separated forever in the next second, and no one can suppress the loss in their hearts.

Murong Xian carefully bandaged her wounds, it was also the first time she had experienced this kind of war, she was a little dazed at the moment, and she was doing movements mechanically like a marionette.

Li Dong also fell silent, although all these tactics were arranged by him, but the sins of the eight thousand lives still had to be counted on his head. Although he can be said to have won this battle completely, what can he do?

Did he really win?

Probably not!

Maybe there is no such thing as victory or defeat in the war, because everyone is the loser!

Everyone cleaned the battlefield expressionlessly, and the same was true of the demons, they occasionally rubbed shoulders, but their eyes were not hatred, but sighs, and loss.

Piling up the corpses into a mountain, Li Dong raised the torch in his hand and sent these undead to the path of reincarnation. Looking at the raging fire, their hearts suddenly became tired, and they wanted to go with them, but the war is not over, it will continue.

On Huangquan Road, waiting for us!

Li Dong only had 12,000 men left after this battle, and after deducting the rear medical soldiers and wounded soldiers, Li Dong's current effective combat strength was actually only 8,000. And Xu Lin was even more deeply injured, the three teams sacrificed a total of 8,000, plus 1,000 wounded soldiers, but the combat power he could use now was only 6,000.

Although in terms of numbers, Li Dong still has a steady position against Xu Lin, everyone knows that Xu Lin's combat power is far superior to them, and now Li Dong's equipment has almost been exhausted, and it can be said that he is desperate.

And Xu Lin still has two trump cards in his hands, Yin Thunder and Shield Mountain!

Li Dong rubbed his temples, his deep eyes contained endless bitterness, he knew that he no longer had any tactics to use, he could only give it a go, and now they could only rely on this lonely mountain to make a desperate bet!

"Chief, what now?" asked Zhu Xian.

"Hold the hill and wait for reinforcements!" Li Dong stood up, a tear dripping from his right eye, this was his atonement for the dead.

"Reinforcements? Do we have reinforcements?"

No one asked, because they knew full well that they didn't have reinforcements at all. If so, then only the gods of heaven!

Xu Lin gritted his teeth, and the wind glared at him angrily, in his heart, this result was due to Xu Lin: "This is what you said about winning the battle?"

Xu Lin snorted coldly: "After this battle, there will be a ruling by Lord Bifrones's holy will!" Xu Lin's words have two meanings, one is that he was appointed by Bifrones himself, so others are not allowed to question his decision;

Swift sneered, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Xu Lin, Swift Wind, and Flame Snatcher were all cultivators in the late stage of Jindan, and the only one who could match them was Feng Yu Xiu! The six thousand soldiers were reorganized and divided into three phalanxes and marched from three directions, and they stopped at the foot of the mountain three hundred zhang, ready to make the final impact.

And the leader is Xu Lin, the wind and the firebreaker!

They're going to take it personally!
